Potentially Undisturbed Land (Virgin Sod) - FSA Common Land Unit Derived

The Potentially Undisturbed Lands layer contains polygons representing undisturbed land mapped at a scale of 1:8000 or greater over the entire Prairie Coteau and Lac qui Parle landscapes in Southwestern Minnesota. Each polygon is classified as either undisturbed grassland or undisturbed woodland according to a rigorous, repeatable, systematic protocol. The Protected Undisturbed Lands layer contains polygon features representing undisturbed lands that have a permanent protection status. It is a subset of the Potentially Undisturbed Lands layer (mn_pudl), and is created by intersecting the undisturbed lands layer with an aggregate layer of lands that are known to be permanently protected. Permanently protected lands include an aggregate of fee title and easement holdings by a variety of state, federal, and private non-profit agencies and organizations.
